TYSON FURY has spoken out in defence of his brother Tommy and the astonishing sums he has made for fighting Jake Paul and KSI.
Fury – who shot to fame on the 2019 edition of reality TV show Love Island – has beaten YouTube’s biggest boxing stars in Paul and KSI.
And according to older brother Tyson, the WBC heavyweight world champion, he has done so while making millions.
Tyson, 35, said on The MMA Hour: “Well, I can be brutally honest because we always are.
“The fact that Tommy made $10million in his fight, he’s 24-year’s-old, he’s probably made $25-26million out of his ten-fight career, it’s unbelievable.
“I’m very, very proud of where he’s come from. In 2018, Tommy didn’t have $10 for a bus pass.
“Today, Tommy’s got a hell of a lot of money in his account. Millions of dollars in his account so I’m very proud of him.

“Regardless of the fight, all these fights he’s had with Jake Paul and whoever else, it’s show business.
“These fights KSI, Jake Paul, Logan Paul all these guys – Dillon Danis, whoever these influencers are and YouTubers and all that, this is show business.
“This is brining millions of eyes to the boxing world and the boxing world should be very appreciative of it.”
